Tamil Folklore Traditions!!!
Dance or Nadagam forms an integral part of the culture of Tamil Nadu,
with its origin stemming from the ancient dance-drama form, called
Therukoothu. Traditional folk dances of Tamil Nadu include several individuals and group forms, some of which are now being practiced not only for their heritage but also for their entertainment quotient. The tribal dances of Tamil Nadu include dances from the simplest form of a
puppet show to the Poikkal Kuthirai Attam.
Many of the dance forms practiced are woven around a story, intended to entertain the audience or to pay homage to a deity. Dancers dress in animal costumes for many dances in Tamil Nadu, showing the strong connection between nature and the Gods. They dress like a peacock
for Mayil Attam, as a horse while performing Poikkal Kuthirai, as a
bull in Kaalai Attam, snake-like dress for Paampu Attam and as a bear in
Karadi Attam
